Retired offensive lineman Terron Armstead was asked on The Rich Eisen Show about the future of the NFL\u2019s defensive faces of the league, and Armstead said he loves Aidan Hutchinson\u2019s game, but he also shouted out Jared Verse as a player who could win Defensive Player of the Year. He\u2019s confident in the young defensive lineman\u2019s ability because Verse has a raw power few have. He\u2019s different<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Armstead was drafted by the New Orleans Saints<\/a> back in 2013, and as he accrued his 10+ years of experience he saw legends from James Harrison to Von Miller, and after seeing Jared Verse last year, Armstead feels strongly that the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> found someone who can someday bring home a Defensive Player of the Year award like the many greats before him.<\/p>\n

The Defensive Rookie of the Year certainly left an impression as Armstead spoke about Verse recently on Sirius XM<\/a>, and now here is the retired veteran on the Rich Eisen Show talking about Verse again. <\/p>\n

Said Armstead,<\/p>\n

\u201cJared Verse, I\u2019m very very loud about what I believe he will be able to do. The boy\u2019s strong, it\u2019s different, different level of strength. It is. I don\u2019t know exactly what it…because he\u2019s not the biggest, he\u2019s not the…I played James Harrison and Dustin Smith…very strong humans. Jared Verse has something different with his…with his power.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When the Miami Dolphins<\/a> played the Rams in 2024, Armstead said that he could already tell Verse was good on film. After that game, he felt that Verse was as powerful as advertised, maybe even more so than on tape. <\/p>\n

\u201cI saw it on film. I\u2019m preparing, we\u2019re preparing for the Rams, big game for us too, cause we kinda going through a rough patch in the season, and the Rams were heating up as they made their playoff push, and I\u2019m watching the film and he is running people over. Not just knocking people back, he is running people over on his way to the quarterback. So, the first series against the Rams I\u2019m…like I\u2019m excited to see…I need to see what\u2019s this power about. The first series…he did a bullrush…we passed the ball, threw it on first down and I\u2019m laughing like \u2018Yo that\u2019s funny\u2019 that he pushed me back like that. It was interesting to see this… is different, I\u2019ve seen it on film, so the rest of the game I\u2019m trying to get on him quick, I don\u2019t want to let him get started…he has a pop that is just different, it\u2019s hard to explain. You\u2019ll see more of it this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 5-time Pro Bowler expects Verse to improve year after year, and he responded point blank that Verse can win a Defensive Player of the Year award after Eisen proposed the idea. <\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that strongly, I feel as he continues to craft his game, to get more off the bullrush, some hand swipes, things that look like a bullrush all the way up until the end…his get off…wasn\u2019t that good…it\u2019s still so many things for him to build into his game…I can see him being Defensive Player of the Year.\u201d <\/p>\n

Armstead expects big things as Verse enters his second season at the NFL level, so do the Rams and so does Verse. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Retired offensive lineman Terron Armstead was asked on The Rich Eisen Show about the future of the NFL\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156388,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[2329,10838,13739,2364,35417,7,29,142,1433,1014,58,4200,2444,2611,6,424,2574,35416,10837,2618,2617,3685,4377],"class_list":{"0":"post-156387","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-a","9":"tag-armstead","10":"tag-award","11":"tag-can","12":"tag-dpoy","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-front-page","15":"tag-is","16":"tag-jared","17":"tag-los-angeles","18":"tag-los-angeles-rams","19":"tag-los-angeles-rams-news","20":"tag-losangeles","21":"tag-losangelesrams","22":"tag-nfl","23":"tag-rams","24":"tag-show","25":"tag-sure","26":"tag-terron","27":"tag-times","28":"tag-turf","29":"tag-verse","30":"tag-win"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114741888070138808","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
